For my Birthday Week....

A very AMH birthday
Some birthday goodies!!! Wally did pretty good with the gifting this year!!
I've been thinking... This week is my birthday and I think it'd be pretty cool to give my readers a bit of a challenge.

If you're reading this and you don't publicly follow me, head on to that little blue button on the left hand side that says "Join this site." I've got about 190 followers and it'd be pretty cool to hit 200 for my birthday week! :) I'm pretty sure there are another 10 out there who check in from time to time without actually following. Now's your chance!!

Also... as a way to pass on the love I have for blogging - and the love for this quilt blogging community, I'd love it if you'd leave me a comment sometime (I always reply back so be sure that you're not a 'no reply blogger'). But don't just comment on my page, think about leaving comments to bloggers more often - even a "hey I've been there too" or "that quilt is pretty awesome" or whatever - we love that sort of stuff and you'll never know how often that makes someone's entire day!

Pass around the love! Don't feel the need to read every single blog or every single post people write. But when you do, and when you enjoy it, let people know! :)

  1. well, Emily I am enjoying this post about your birthday and I am already a follower and it is late or i guess early so I am not using any spacing or punctuation but I do with you a happy birthday and who would not love this post when there is such cool picture topping it off and i am trying to do what you say and comment on blogs more often because i know i like to get comments even though i don't have a blog but i like to get comments on flickr because it lets me know that people actually care that i am posting anything at all and ya know that is good most of the time in general so i am making more of an effort now i guess i should go to bed so that when i get up in the morning i can read your response to this awesome stream of thinking comment i just left on your blog because i read somewhere that you always reply to comments left on your blog have a great birthday today :)

  10. Happy Birthday to you! I've actually been commenting less lately because of all the anti-spam stuff that so many bloggers have set up. It just seems like too much of a bother -- I hate jumping through hoops (especially when I have a hard time reading the filter words!). :)

    And . . . I'm already a follower. Cheers!
